Brentford vs Tottenham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-02-01 14:00.
[p]Brentford ended a five-game winless run in Premier League London derbies (D1, L4) with an important 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace last week that left the top-half of the table within striking distance. Head coach Thomas Frank was especially delighted with their defensive effort, and considering the Bees have both scored and conceded more goals than several higher ranked clubs, further improvement at the back could lead to more success. [/p]
[p]Their home fans will be crying out for some joy after enduring four consecutive Premier League games at the Gtech Community Stadium without victory (D1, L3). But with that quartet of opponents sitting inside the top-four round, Brentford could certainly be forgiven for such results. Seven wins from their other eight Premier League home games (D1) gives a more accurate reflection of how they might fare in pursuit of their first win on their own turf against Tottenham in any competition since 1947/48 (D5, L3 since)![/p]
[p]While Tottenham continue to succeed in secondary competitions, their Premier League campaign lurches from one failure to another. The ongoing injury crisis meant they couldn’t fill their bench in a 2-1 loss at home to Leicester last week, meaning they’ve won just once in the league since thrashing Manchester City (D2, L8), despite opening the scoring six times therein.[/p]
[p]That defeat last round also meant that since a 4-1 win at home to Aston Villa in early November, Spurs have failed to win eight consecutive Premier League games in London as either the home or away side (D2, L6). It’s little wonder then that angry supporters redirected their dissent from beleaguered manager Ange Postecoglou to chairman Daniel Levy, unfurling a banner calling for an end to a 24-year stewardship that has produced nothing more than one League Cup. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Home turf is where Yoane Wissa does his best work, netting nine of his 11 goals this Premier League season there, whilst four of his last seven there served as the team’s first of the match. Richarlison has been a most welcome returnee for Spurs, delivering their last two Premier League goals, even if both came in defeats. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Brentford led at half-time in just one of their last ten Premier League games.[/p]
